HOW TO TAPER YOUR PANTS 

As a skinny dude who put on a lot of muscle and cant find pants to fit correctly throughout the whole leg this is an absolute life saver. Great vid man this is sick

Taking in my sons dress pants for homecoming with no experience. Your video is by far the best and you helped us get him to homecoming looking 👌 Thanks 😊

Just got my first sewing machine. I remember in High School i purposely took sewing class to be around all the chicks but actually started liking sewing ..little did i know that one day I'd really need those skills to taper some older jeans and pants that were wider back in the day, umm MUCH WIDER...fast forward 20 years and now days I'd look like a clown wearing some of the jeans and pants i saved from the early 2000s Lol but fortunately..I found this channel to help refresh myself on how to taper. PS: Anyone remember that FAD where we'd roll up & tuck the bottom of the pants around the ankle? Lol

I used this video today to take in a pair of shorts that I really love but were too wide in the legs, and BAM!! my shorts turned out amazing. Thank you for publishing this video. Gaining some skills while saving some cash. Ty!!

That was brilliant brother ....I love the old/new slim 60s jazz look

I am loving these videos! Thanks so much! I have a pair of pants that I always just pinch and cuff to give them a tapered albeit baggy look. But I'm definitely going to try this on them soon. The video of the bowling shirt was great too. Awesome fabric choices!

You explained this very well, thank you for taking the time and sharing!

You are a smart young man. This is a great tip!

This is DOPE! Thank you brother, I have been dying for a video like this.

I should have commented before, Norris, because not only did this video help me, it helped my daughter too. Such a great resource! And congratulations to the newlyweds!!😄💕

I just took ~3in. off the inseam and it worked great! Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial

Very helpful. I'm a beginner and I found this easy to follow. Thank you!

Damn, I wish you would have shown the last steps too. Everything else was a great explanation.

Wow! Not only are you good at taioring, you're great at expaining! you made this so simple and clear.

Thank you! best example and explanation I’ve seen so far!

That's an eye opening video,thank you for the lesson

Well done vid. Great visibility, no wasted time, clear instructions. Thank you!

Excellent video! Clear and concise and easy to follow! Thank you!

Thank you! Explained in clear terms. Easy to understand and to the point!

Probably the best taper video on the tube!

Thank you so much for this vid! I’ve recently got into sewing and this helps so much ✊🏾

Tapering pants and this tutorial is beautiful. Thank you!

I've been looking for a way to taper my work trousers for ages! I'm so short and even when I buy petite tapered trousers, but the time I've take those up they're still too wide! This is a game changer - thank you :)

Excellent instruction, explanation, and sew along. Thanks so much.!

Love it, thanks for the demo

Thank you for that tutorial, I think I can do this !

Top tips. Many thanks! The results from our local tailor have been expensive disappointments, so I'm going to give it a go myself.

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Great tutorial!

I’m So glad I found your channel!

Best pant taper tutorial I’ve found!! Excellent work, super easy to follow!! Thank you!!

Awesome!! I just started seeing and this video was extremely helpful

So helpful! Thank you!!

Great video - thanks. If taking in just the inside how do you deal with the crease? The crease will be moved to the inside no? Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for the great video. It was super helpful and high quality.

You know it is nice to see guys sewing great

Oooooh looks so simple can’t wait to try this thank you!

So SIMPLE! thank you for this video! very clear instructions and easy to follow :)

Thank you for this!! Helps a lot.

Man! That looks easy! Thanks for making this video!!

Thanks you made it look so easy, my work pants are so wide they look ridiculous., I am going to try to take them in.

Super helpful, thanks my guy!

Ay bro really appreciate this video. Even tho it's 5 years old it's still helping people today.

Amazing tutorial, thank you. All in the preparation 👌🏻👍🏻

You are great Bro! Such tips!

I like your very clear direction ❤

Great job thank you so much for all your information.

Super helpful. Thank you!

Great video, gonna try this tomorrow

Thanks for posting! Very helpful clarification especially regarding how to stitch the crotch region. Some videos have glossed over it, so yours was helpful.

That was tight bro....Thanks!!!

Omg!!! thank you for sharing I'm a beginner and about to sew a few pants. This is the best video so far👍👍

Perfect but I’ve come to expect nothing less from you Mr. Ford 🎉

Excellent tutorial. Best to practice on old trousers first.

Super informative! Thanks

So helpful!

Thank you great instructions

This seems a lot easier than how complicated I made it in my head. Thank you!!!!!

very helpful video, i'm gonna give this a go!

Excellent, thanks for share!

Thank you for sharing. Interesting. Blessings

What’s up Norris! Dope channel! I’m headed to LA next week... Do you have any vintage or thrift store recommendations? I want to start altering/tailoring clothes. Also, I am strongly considering joining “The See It Academy”. You and your lady are doing incredible things.

Brilliant thanks 👍 brother

Thanks for sharing, I have learned something

Very helpful! Thank you

Every word is useful. Also to practice on a few spares before the important garment. Great 👍

Amazing thank you, i hate when pants are tight in the knee this helps a lot.

Thanks! I’m working on a pair of khaki pants right now. They are a little too blousy in the leg. What diameter cuff do you like?

Good video my brotha what type of sowing machine you recommend for beginners

Thanks for Uploading.

Nicely Explained

Have viewed several videos on this subject. Like yours the best.. thanks

Bless you bro 🙌🏾

I really like the tip about the pins going in through both legs then chalk marking 2nd leg, thank you :) Only thing I would add, is to really press trousers carefully before starting, it makes any alterations much easier when things are flattened.

Dawg !!!!!! Thank you 😮🎉

Thanks!

Thank you

Freaking FIRE VIDEO TUTORIAL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I don't have a sewing machine, or much hand sewing expirence, so I'm hoping I can do good work. This is my first time needing to sew something, but the work pants I just bought myself were too wide to look good, so I decided to taper it. Wish me luck.

Can you do 1 on jeans? I really like this vid!

From one Norris to another -- thanks!

dude thank you!

nice! i would be nervous to be pinning myself!

Any chance I could sew it by hand or is the machine necessary? Great video!

Hey man. Thanks for this video.

Great video, Norris. I, personally would also serge the new inside but for those who do not have a serger I would tell them to either use pinking shears or finish with an over-edge stitch if their machine has that built in. Much love to you, buddy.

Why did you take out bottom hem? It won’t work without doing that?

Bro that was amazing since I bought some pants on sale for $7 bucks and the tailor I found charged me $15 per pants and still cut them too short, and I now hate the four pants he messed up!! I will now get a serger and start doing my own pants. Can you use a serger alone without a sewing machine like I saw a woman do?

Where did you get your chalk from.

Thank you! This is the best step by step tapering video... I would like to see the cutting & surging next time.... or possibly a video showing how to zig zag to protect the stitch... thx again!!! ☮️ from NYC..

😎 Nice one

Are uou using straight stich?

I'm guessing you are using a single stitch and should you overcast if you don't have a serger?

What sewing machine should I get

I've looked at about a dozen videos on how to take in pants and this is the only one that looks easy enough for a non-seamstress like me. Thanks. I hope I don't blow it

Should I I get slim fit pants tampered from the crotch down or from the knee down.

Great video. Thank you. Just did my own pair of cords and only ended up with the needle through my finger once 😂

You should do a sewalong on burda 6816 ..

What's the maximum would take in if you're working from the outside leg and how do you deal with top stitching along leg like on chinos running it through a home sewing machine ?

I loveeeee you❤️
